624: Chapter 624: First Round, One Punch KO!
“Mr.
Ye, please draw lots to determine the number of the first contestant you will face.”
At that mont, the host carried a box containing numbered balls and walked over to Ye Xuan, politely saying,
Ye Xuan imdiately reached into the box, casually grabbed a ball, and then took it out and placed it on a tray.
The ball bore the number ‘9’—the first opponent Ye Xuan would face, contestant number 9!
The host presented the ball on the tray to the audience below the stage, loudly announcing, “The host has drawn ball number 9.
I am honored to have the number 9 fighter be the first to compete.
Please co up to the stage.”
As soon as those words were spoken, an excited and jubilant laughter erupted from the area where the fighters were preparing:
“Ha ha ha, I didn’t expect to be the first one up!
Sorry everyone, but the championship is mine.”
Along with the laughter, a young man appeared, his body robust and powerful, his arms muscled like small hills, adorned with a tattoo of a Black Panther.
He leapt onto the stage, his face flushed with excitent amidst the envious gazes of the other fighters.
He was contestant number 9, Vincent, nicknad ‘Black Panther’, known for his ferocious Fist Technique!
On the underground fighting circuit, he had achieved a notable record of eleven fights with five wins.
As the first to compete onstage, Vincent’s excitent was palpable.
After all, while there were fifteen challengers, there was only one host and ultimately, only one champion!
Everyone wanted to knock down Ye Xuan and win the championship, and being able to choose to fight first undoubtedly provided a greater chance of victory.
Becoming the sole champion would win him a whopping prize of twenty-five million and the chance to share a bed with the most beautiful woman from the Heavenly Capital City Beauty Rankings, and even steal a kiss—an indulgence not even Huayun City’s top heir Huayun Tian could enjoy.
Faced with such tempting rewards, how could he not be thrilled and excited?
If not for the upcoming match, he would’ve been tempted to shout out loud to warn everyone that only by winning the contest could one beco the ultimate winner in life!
With his thrill barely containable, Vincent, who had leapt onto the stage, began hopping around, warming up for the forthcoming face-off with Ye Xuan.
To secure a definitive victory, he knew he had to give it everything, harnessing two hundred percent of his strength to defeat his opponent.
At that mont, the bombshell bikini-clad girl holding a sign and the referee of the event also ascended the stage, announcing the start of the match.
“Both contestants, please be prepared.”
The referee walked to the middle of the stage, extending a hand to each side, signaling the contestants to co forward.
Upon hearing this, Vincent stopped his warm-up and eagerly walked to stand by the referee’s left side.
With a challenging look, he glanced at Ye Xuan, who was slowly approaching from the opposite side.
Vincent waved his fists, simultaneously flipping a middle finger in a disdainful gesture.
Ye Xuan, seemingly oblivious, walked up and stood to the right of the referee, calmly fixing his gaze straight ahead with an air of tranquility.
In accordance with the practices of fighting competitions, the referee initially explained the rules.
Since it was an underground fight, there were minimal restrictions similar to an MMA UFC-style no-holds-barred match, but with even fewer limits!
That ant the rules were more open; apart from not allowing maiming, death, or passive, fake fighting for purposes of losing, almost everything else was allowed, including Choking, eye-gouging, and groin-kicking—usually taboo in ring contests.
The match would end only when one fighter lay unable to rise or if the opponent surrendered!
After explaining the rules, the referee blew the whistle and loudly declared, “First match of the ring challenge, Round one, Vincent versus Ye Xuan, begin now!”
With those words, the referee quickly retreated to the side, as if fearing getting caught in the crossfire.
In underground fighting arenas, it was not uncommon for referees to be fatally struck by fighters, and for safety, it was wise to keep a distance.
Swoosh!
At that mont, Vincent kicked off the ground and rushed towards Ye Xuan, instantly launching a ferocious offensive!
At this mont, his two hands were each fitted with UFC mixed martial arts finger-separated gloves, his right fist shot out like lightning, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, aiming directly at Ye Xuan’s cheek with a right hook punch, intent on striking him in one blow.
Ye Xuan’s gaze remained calm as the fist approached.
With a light wave of his hand to the side, he blocked Vincent’s thick arm, completely missing the target.
Boom!
Simultaneously, he stepped forward with his left leg, and his right fist struck out like a phantom, too fast for the naked eye to track.
After Vincent’s punch missed, before he could retract his fist to defend, Ye Xuan’s fist had already reached his face, smashing it fiercely.
“Ah…”
Vincent scread in pain as the punch solidly hit him, nearly dislocating his jaw!
His entire body imdiately beca unsteady, swaying back as if drunk.
Bang!
Finally losing his balance completely, he fell forward onto the wooden floor of the ring, producing a thunderous muffled sound.
Vincent was dazed from the fall, clutching his cheek and wailing in agony.
Seeing Vincent knocked down by Ye Xuan’s punch, the referee was also stunned for a mont but then quickly realized what had happened and hurriedly called for a halt, jogging to the center of the ring.
He asked about Vincent’s condition, but Vincent ignored him, continuing to wail miserably like a slaughtered sow.
The referee helplessly shook his head, understanding that Vincent was no longer able to continue fighting.
He then signaled with his hands, starting to count the seconds!
After ten seconds, Vincent still hadn’t gotten up.
The damage from Ye Xuan’s punch seed very severe.
This ant that Vincent would be eliminated.
The referee then stood up and announced to the audience below, “Vincent is defeated by the champion Ye Xuan, knocked out with one punch, and the champion wins the first match of the competition!”
“Wow!
Ye, the god, is mighty.
He solved Black Panther Vincent with one punch!”
“Great punch, God Ye is aweso and dominating!”
“Ha ha ha!
What did I say?
God Ye always brings surprises.
Now do you believe it?”
Cheers and applause erupted from the audience below, clapping in celebration of Ye Xuan’s victory.
In contrast to the elated audience, the preparation area was silent and somber, as every fighter’s face turned grave, realizing they had underestimated Ye Xuan.
Black Panther Vincent’s fighting strength wasn’t top-notch among them but was above average, yet Ye Xuan knocked him out with one punch!
What did this imply?
Ye Xuan’s strength was definitely far superior to Vincent’s, enabling him to knock out his opponent so effortlessly.
Would they have a chance to win if they were to face Ye Xuan?
No one dared to be sure at the mont.
They had to reassess Ye Xuan’s strength!
However, the only advantage they had was that Ye Xuan, facing so many opponents, would inevitably tire.
As long as they seized the opportunity, they could easily defeat him.
